Abstract

Kecanduan narkoba sudah menjadi permasalahan besar dihadapi dan mengkawatirkan, di dunia. Pada tahun 2017 sampai 2019 ada sekitar 3,3 sampai 3,6 juta jiwa lebih diantara umur 10 tahun sampai 59 tahun, dan termasuk pelajar. Mereka yang berusia 15 tahun sampai 35 tahun (generasi milenial) lebih cenderung pecandu narkoba. Berdasarkan data ini, penelitian bermaksud agar gereja dan gembala mengadakan pembinaan kepada warga gereja dan kepada mereka yang telah menggunakan narkoba sebagai mana dalam Matius 18:12 – 14, dengan tujuan mencegah menjadi pecandu dan pengguna narkoba. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif yaitu mengungkap makna dan pengalaman subjek serta mengutip literatur-literatur dari internet dan pengalaman penulis selama tinggal di rumah satu keluarga dimana ada anaknya yang kecanduan narkoba yang tidak mendapatkan pembinaan serta pendampingan. Hasilnya agar warga gereja dapat mengetahui efek dan bahayanya narkoba dan kepada mereka yang ketergantungan narkoba menyadari kesalahaan dan dapat sembuh serta dapat diterima menjadi warga gereja.

Abstract

Batam Island has diverse social characteristics that are shown by many ethnicities, traditions, and religions. This diversity exists as a result of the population on this island is dominated by domestic migrants from all around Indonesia. In line with the expansion of industry in Batam, the island's population is rapidly increasing, which is accompanied by the establishment of various types of worship places.  Based on population growth, it is essential to examine the historical development of churches of all denominations as well as the establishment of worship places in other religions. The research method used in this writing is qualitative research method by conducting literature review related to church growth. The result of this historical review was, the growth of Christian churches in Batam is not as fast as the growth of mosques, but that does not mean it has decreased in number. They continue to grow and shift geographically in various ways. Clearly, Christianity has spread far from its historical origins and supports Jesus' great commission of making disciples of all nations, baptizing him, and teaching the gospel throughout the world. Abstrak: Pulau Batam merupakan wilayah dengan unsur masyarakat heterogen yang ditunjukkan dengan keberagaman suku, adat istiadat, serta agama yang dianut oleh masyarakat pulau Batam. Keberagaman ini terbentuk karena masyarakat di pulau Batam didominasi oleh pendatang yang berasal dari seluruh Indonesia. Seiring dengan pertumbuhan industri di pulau Batam, maka pertumbuhan penduduk juga meningkat pesat dan diikuti juga bertumbuhnya berbagai macam rumah ibadah.  Berdasarkan latar belakang pertumbuhan penduduk tersebut, maka perlu dilakukan tinjauan historis perkembangan gereja dari semua denominasi dan juga berdirinya rumah ibadah agama -agama lainnya. Penulisan ini menggunakan metodologi kualitatif dengan melakukan penelitian kepustakaan atau kajian literatur yang berhubungan dengan pertumbuhan gereja. Hasil tinjauan historis ini adalah pertumbuhan gereja Kristen tidak sepesat pertumbuhan masjid tetapi bukan berarti berkurang dalam jumlah.  Mereka terus bertumbuh dan bergeser secara geografis dalam berbagai cara, Jelas agama Kristen telah menyebar jauh dari asal usul historisnya dan mendukung amanat agung Yesus yaitu menjadikan semua bangsa murid, membaptiskannya dan mengajar injil keseluruh dunia.

Abstract

Adventist church does not share any formulation for missiological concept. Its absence leads to Westernization theology where in the systematic theological perspective, Western theology has no interest in accommodating local issues. Consequently, its mission concept presents as a Western formulation with no relevance and significance to the Asian context, specifically Indonesia. This article attempts to construct Indonesian missiological concept that could contribute to evangelism exercise in Central Java. By using qualitative approach, references such as books, articles, and other related sources will receive primary attention. In sum, church mission must find Christian values among the culture and cultural expression should be operated as a medium for evangelism.

Abstract

The concept of “last judgment” means punishment for the wicked and reward for the righteous with the ultimate goal of human life. Philosophers’ theories sometimes contradict the contents of the Bible. Does eudaimonism go against the Bible or support each other? This study endeavours to cultivate a deeper insight into Aristotle’s happiness theory-eudaimonia juxtaposed with the pericope in Matthew about the final judgment. With a literature review approach, this qualitative method interpreted the narrative through several stages. Eudaimonia walks in rhythm with the concept of the final judgment in Matthew 25:31–46. Eudaimonia is about doing virtue as a self-maximizing potential to achieve the ultimate goal of human life, which is judged by reason as a demand of someone’s current situation with the assumption that leads to the truth. Matthew 25:31-46 reveals that the determination of “last judgment” is judged through practical religion by sharing Jesus’ friendship “today” through virtue with those who hunger and thirst for truth. Those who do it will receive the kingdom of God, and those who do not will be thrown into eternal fire.

Abstract

The Hebrew scriptures contain rich material on pneumatology. Cultural context greatly influenced the construction of dogmatics in biblical times, but the study of pneumatology from a social and historical point of view received less attention. This study aims to explore the social context of the meaning of spirits in the ancient Mesopotamian and Hebrew eras. Through a socio-historical approach, the pneumatology construction plot of the ancient Hebrews can be known, where its development also influences the construction of New Testament theology and can be used as a reference for the development of dogmatics at the end of time. Methods This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The mingling of the ancient Hebrews with the Mesopotamians influenced the ancient Hebrews' presuppositions for the articulation of pneumatology and its everyday use. The widespread and transcendental use of pneumatology occurred as a result of the initial conceptual fragility and articulation that developed from the Mesopotamians, thus influencing the perspective of ancient Hebrew pneumatology on daily implementation. The diversity of pneumatological articulations in ancient Hebrew literature is not a contradiction but a multiplicity of words that emerges from the socio-historical aspect.AbstrakKitab suci Ibrani berisi materi yang kaya tentang pneumatologi. Konteks budaya sangat mempengaruhi konstruksi dogmatika di zaman Alkitab, namun kajian pneumatologi dari sudut pandang sosial dan sejarah kurang mendapat perhatian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi konteks sosial pemaknaan roh di era Mesopotamia dan Ibrani kuno. Melalui pendekatan socio-historis, alur konstruksi pneumatologi bangsa Ibrani kuno dapat diketahui, di mana perkembangannya turut mempengaruhi konstruksi teologi Perjanjian Baru dan dapat dijadikan acuan pengembangan dogmatika di akhir zaman. Metode Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif-deskriptif. Berbaurnya bangsa Ibrani kuno dengan bangsa Mesopotamia mempengaruhi presuposisi orang Ibrani kuno terhadap artikulasi pneumatologi serta penggunaannya sehari-hari. Penggunaan pneumatologi yang luas dan transcendental terjadi akibat rempuhan konseptual awal serta artikulasi yang berkembang dari bangsa Mesopotamia sehingga mempengaruhi perspektif pneumatologi orang Ibrani kuno terhadap implementasi sehari-hari. Diversitas artikulasi pneumatologi dalam literatur Ibrani kuno bukan merupakan kontradiksi melainkan multiplisitas kata yang mencuat dari aspek socio-historis.

Abstract

Education is understood as the institution creating human resources capable of making a better society in facing social change. However, education becomes the object of social change when education must submit to the development of the industrial world. The hidden curriculum is taught to prepare human resources to fulfil the market’s needs. Education is prepared to work for people who have capital as known terminology, capitalism. The growth of technology and its equipment make education a private and expensive institution economically, whereas unfortunate people cannot participate. Therefore, it creates incapable human resources to fill the free-market vacancy, and religious education is placed in the midpoint. The inequality of supply in human resource skills towards the demand for working space forms the unstable demand and supply curves. As a result, the shifting curve of the Short-Run Aggregate Supply of human capital moves toward supporting capitalism to stand still. Through the sociological approach, the perspective emic discovers the problematic fundamental for religious education is facing a social change. The dilemma of religious education leads to legitimate the path of capitalism in the education area (or market). The result revisits religious education to bring the equilibrium point between the product and the quality of human resources in a new form of academic capitalism by transferring religious values based on local wisdom and integrating curriculum between religious and non-religious subjects.

The method used in this article is the library method with a descriptive approach. The results of the study show that a strong church is a church that has members of the congregation standing firm in their faith. Where every generation is present to maintain evangelism in the surrounding area. This generation will not exist if there is no maintenance of good faith, especially the younger generation who are expected to become leaders in the future. Faith maintenance is a process that is expected to occur in the life of every believer. It is also expected to happen in the lives of young people.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to find out how important evangelism training is for congregation members so that the congregation has an understanding of what evangelism is. The method used in this article is a library method with a descriptive approach. The results of the study indicate that the role of the pastor or servant of God is not enough just to prepare sermons, pray and worship, but there must be things done outside of that in growing and motivating the congregation to worship. Training for church members has many benefits. Church members will increase in terms of knowledge, abilities and skills, which will have positive implications for the growth of the congregation spiritually and in terms of the number of members.

Abstract

The church's participation in political contestation has received much debate. The confluence of church and politics is a necessity. A conversation about the relationship between church and politics is not forced but something that cannot be avoided. The correlation and relationship between church and politics is a significant polemic, especially in the context of Christianity in Indonesia. The perspectives of Abraham Kuyper, the reformed church tradition in the Netherlands, and Ellen White, from an Adventist background, contribute constructive ideas to church and political fluctuations in Indonesia. Using the qualitative-descriptive method, this research describes church and politics and their correlation between two Christian traditions. Eventually, White shows a less politically friendly resonance when compared to Kuyper. White encourages good governance without forcing the church to be directly involved, while Kuyper is more open and considers politics part of God's sovereignty.   AbstrakPartisipasi gereja pada kontestasi politik menerima banyak perdebatan. Persentuhan gereja dan politik adalah sebuah keniscayaan. Percakapan tentang hubungan gereja dan politik bukanlah sesuatu hal yang di paksakan namun merupakan sesuatu yang tidak dapat terhindarkan. Korelasi dan hubungan antara gereja dan politik menjadi polemik utama, lebih khusus dalam konteks Kekristenan di Indonesia. Perspektif Abraham Kuyper, tradisi gereja reformasi di Belanda dan Ellen White dari latar belakang gereja Advent mengkontribusikan gagasan yang konstruktif bagi fluktuasi gereja dan politik di Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif-deskriptif, penelitian ini mencoba untuk mendeskripsikan gereja dan politik serta korelasinya dari dua tradisi Kristen yang berbeda. Pada akhirnya, White menunjukan resonansi yang kurang ramah terhadap politik jika di bandingkan dengan Kuyper. White mendorong pemerintahan yang baik tanpa harus memaksa gereja terlibat secara langsung, sedangkan Kuyper lebih terbuka dan menganggap politik adalah bagian dari kedaulatan Allah.

Abstract

Ditemukan bahwa gereja kehilangan anggota jemaatnya, baik anggota lama maupun anggota yang baru bergabung. Hal ini terjadi kurangnya program pemeliharan terhadap anggota jemaatnya. Jiwa-jiwa (anggota) jemaat di dalam gereja-Nya perlu dijaga dan dipelihara, karena pemeliharan dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan rohani mereka serta Anda memiliki tanggung jawab untuk mengkhotbahkan Injil kepada generasi berikutnya. Jika mereka tidak dirawat dan dipelihara dengan baik maka kemungkinan besar mereka akan hilang. Pendekatan yang dapat dilakukan oleh penatua gereja adalah melalui program pemeliharaan yaitu dengan ada proyek, pelatihan, motivasi, pelaksana, promosi, pelatihan dan evaluasi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah agar melalui program pemeliharan yang dilakukan oleh gereja maka akan meningkatkan pertumbuhan rohani dan menuntun anggota jemaat dapat lebih setia dalam iman dan kehadiran dalam ibadah. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif. Hasil Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat membuka wawasan yang luas kepada gereja dalam membangun dan menjalankan program-program pemeliharaan jemaat.
